If you specify an encoding to use for the output that doesn't have a 
specific character then you should get represented by a character reference.
I don't know off hand which set you'd need, I always try to use UTF as 
desiring character references is somewhat unusual, and I don't know if you 
can specify ASCII as a legitimate one but you'd use the xsl:output element 
and the encoding attribute.
